Bigger eyes with smokey eyes (Step by step)

Jag får ofta frågan om hur man sminkar ögonen så att dom ser större ut, och det finns flera sätt att göra det på – antingen kan man öppna upp blicken så mycket som möjligt med hjälp av kontrasten mellan ljusa och mörka färger, eller så kan man göra en sotning som är uttonad ganska långt ut så att man liksom “drar ut” blicken åt alla håll. Det är väldigt effektfullt!

Not all sooting enlarges the eyes, if you stay in a small area around the eyes you will not get the same pulling effect. Dare to put make-up quite far out from the eyelid, both over the crease line and on the underside of the eyes :) And work a lot with the make-up brush so that you get really soft edges.

And a common misconception is that a dark eyeliner along the waterline reduces the eyes, which is only partially true. If you first paint a line along the waterline and then fade it down to the lower lash line, you actually get a magnifying effect instead, compared to if you only paint one line along the waterline. Dare to brass a little darker under the eyes and you get an enlarging effect, preferably wider in the middle than on the sides.

Idag får ni ett exempel på en sådan sminkning, som är gjord med Pixis superskimriga eyedust-skuggor “Fairy Dust”Which are magically beautiful! :)

Face primer - Paese Makeup Base (Matte)
Powder that neutralizes red - gloMinerals Redness Reducing Primer
Foundation - Pixi H2O Skintint (Nude)
Contouring - Pixi's new palettes coming soon!
Lipstick - gloMinerals Cream Glaze Crayon (Mimosa)
Eyebrows - Benecos Eyebrow Designer (Brown)

1. Eyeshadow primer on the entire eyelid and lower lash line, Pixi Eye Bright Primer
   Light eye shadow in the middle of the eyelid, Pixi Fairy Dust (Gold Dust)
2. Bronze-copper eyeshadow on the sides of the eyelid, Pixi Fairy Dust (Copper Sheen)
3. Look straight ahead and mark the globe line with the same eye shadow.
4. Fade the edges
5. Apply the same eye shadow also along the lower lash line
6. Apply the light eye shadow also in the corner of the eye
7. Green eyeliner along the waterline + down the lower lash line, and thin along the upper lash line, gloMinerals Precise Micro Eyeliner (Teal)
8. Black mascara on all lashes, Magnetic lash mascara

Do you understand what I mean by sweeping? It does not have to be a completely black sweep to be effective, as long as you dare to apply shade above the globe line and along the lower lash line (preferably wider in the middle of the lower lash line) you will make your eyes look bigger.

If you also want your eyes to look open and alert, the light in the middle of the eyelid and in the corner of the eye is a very good idea :)

Visst kan man inte annat än älska den gröna kajalpennan? Loooove! Den är vattenfast och sitter som ett smäck, dessutom är det så himla lätt att måla med då spetsen är väldigt tunn, det är därför pennan heter “micro”.

Hope you like today's look you too, hug you ♥
